The Price You Pay Emmylou Harris
[C#]You make up your mind you choose the [F#]chance you take
You ride to where the [C#]highway ends and the [G#]desert breaks
Out on to an [C#]open road you ride [F#]until the day
You learn to [C#]sleep at night [G#]with the [C#]price you pay
Now with their hands held high,
they reached out for the [F#]open skies
And then with t[C#]heir last breath they built the roads
They would [G#]ride to their deaths
Driving on t[C#]hrough the night, unable to [F#]break away
>From the[C#] restless pull[G#] of the[F#] price you pay
Oh, the [C#]price you pay, oh, the [F#]price you pay
Now you can't [C#]walk away f[G#]rom the [C#]price you pay [F#]
[C#]Now they'd come so far and they'd [F#]waited so long
Just to end up [C#]caught in a dream where everyth[G#]ing goes wrong
Where the [C#]dark of night holds back the [F#]light of the day
And you've gotta s[C#]tand and fight [G#]for the [F#]price you pay
Oh, the [C#]price you pay, oh, the [F#]price you pay
Now you can't [C#]walk away f[G#]rom the [C#]price you pay [F#]
SOLO
[C#]Little girl down on the strand
With that pretty little baby [F#]in your hands
Do you [C#]remember the story of the [G#]promised land
How he crossed the d[C#]esert sands
And could not enter the [F#]chosen land
On the banks of the [C#]river he stayed
[G#]To face the [C#]price you pay
So let the games start, you better run you little [F#]wild heart
You can [C#]run through all the nights and all the [G#]days
But just across the [C#]county line,
A stranger passing through p[F#]ut up a sign
That counts so many [C#]fallen away [G#]to the [F#]price you pay,
Oh, the [C#]price you pay, oh, the [F#]price you pay
Now you can't [C#]walk away f[G#]rom the [F#]price you pay
Oh, the [C#]price you pay, oh, the [F#]price you pay
Now you can't [C#]walk away f[G#]rom the [F#]price you pay [C#] [F#] [C#]
